Easter Weekend Activities

We had a fun Easter holiday weekend. Al had Friday off and took a vacation day today so we've had a super fun, relaxing weekend as a family. We've had:

Two Egg Hunts: One with our playgroup (my batteries were dead so Erin emailed me this pic of Makenna)

One with the community:






Decorated Eggs: (once again Makenna has an extremely interesting outfit choice - I just don't fight these things any more)


Made a cute Easter craft at the Primary activity: (this is a hostess snowball as the tomb and a Nilla wafer as the rock covering the doorway of the tomb)



Opened Easter Baskets:


Had a yummy Easter Dinner (I will share some recipes later this week): It wasn't as pretty as I imagined but it was SO good!



Had a nice spiritual Easter FHE: No pictures but find the lesson Here

(PS, I know all of these pics need to be edited but I just didn't have the energy tonight!!)

Thanks for the FHE idea! I love that lesson. Your cake looks super yummy! I tried to make a "Bumble Berry Pie" last week and it was a watery mess, so I understand the "not quite a pretty" thing!

Looks like a VERY fun weekend!! I saw that cake in the Food and Family magazine!! Looks delicious! :o)

You did have a great weekend! I am lol at McKenna's outfit - been there, done that.

Neat primary activity, and your kids easter baskets look fun. Your dessert looks beautiful, and delish! :)

Ahhh, looks like as far as outfits go, Makenna's taking after her Auntie Laurie. (Joking, joking...knock on wood...)

Elisa said...

love the girls matching outfits! And what a cute idea for the tomb, that would be a fun activity/treat for FHE, maybe we'll have to use it next year

I will gladly have a piece (or the whole cake) of your dessert - serious YUM! And I love that your girls were matching at the egg hunt - that is such a cute picture of the kids with Al. What a serious haul they got in their baskets - those are some lucky kids!

Your weekend looks so fun! That tomb is seriously cute...will be keeping that idea for future reference. That cake does look delish- I love when you share recipes.

Those polka dot outfits are so cute and that dessert looks so yummy!

Helena said...

I love those polka-dotted pants. Cool Primary craft, too. That's a neat idea.

We had rain on Easter. And hail and snow today. Now the sun is shining again.

Your weather looks so nice -- I'm jealous! And I love the matching sisters outfits -- how cute!

andrea said...

oh my goodness and ten hugs to the matching sisters. It's my dream come true. And what a seriously cute primary idea. I am going to file that one away.

Hilary said...

I too, love the primary idea! Thanks for sharing!

And your chocolate cake has me seriously drooling...

Fun family pictures! Sounds like a great weekend!
